J: Billy Loughnane

T: James Tate

Low-mileage 4yo who won twice over 5f on Tapeta (once here) in the autumn and was placed over that trip on handicap debut at Newcastle in January; not quite in same form on turf last month but that run came after a break and he could quite plausibly have untapped potential over 6f back on AW.

T: James Tate

Returned from 15-month absence with 5f AW maiden/novice wins in November/December; advanced his form again when third of eight on 5f Newcastle handicap debut in January; remains with unexposed potential back from a further five months off; a heavy defeat on his 2024 Newmarket debut shouldn't be taken as evidence he won't prove effective on turf.

Absent for 15 months after finished well held on his turf debut but showed why connections have persevered with 5f AW maiden/novice wins in November/December (here first occasion); up against some battle-hardened types on handicap debut but there could be plenty more to come.

Form & Verdict
320,000euros yearling; didn't race for Godolphin but showed ability when second of five on his Wolverhampton debut (5f, Tapeta; 20-1) three weeks ago; this stiffer track may suit him better given his pedigree; respected.

Another win had been coming and he dug deep over C&D a month ago, albeit in a Class 5 handicap when 5lb lower; this is tougher; all turf runs on good or quicker ground.

Lightly raced 4yo who has run some encouraging races in handicaps this year; made good headway before run petered out when fifth of 15 at York (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago and he could benefit from today's drop back in trip and grade; possible player.

Rallied to win over C&D in June when the race was run to suit; ran respectably, despite things panning out less favourably, when returned to this scenario last time; possibilities if the cards drop right.

C&D winner in June who didn't quite see it out over 1m1f here last time; not the easiest and often misses the break but a big field at this slightly lower level looks ideal; one to consider.

Won off basement mark here in June and doubled tally in Ayr classified (also 1m, good) last month; further progress is not out of the question but he has more on his plate today and was soundly beaten in recent Ayr handicap won by Samra Star.
